Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced last week that he is done with the Republican Party after being a “consistent defender” for 35 years. “I would not support the Republican Party. There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Carlson explained. “How could I, or any American voters, support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?” Carlson questioned. “It’s not possible to vote for people like that. And I’m not going to. And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News, CNN, [and] MSNBC,” he continued. “I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there’s no defending this because it’s immoral,” he stated. “And it’s exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they’re not doing that,” he continued. “So, no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out,” Carlson said.

His departure could influence voters who have long followed his commentary, potentially accelerating defections among Republicans already uneasy with the party’s foreign‑policy direction. Carlson made the announcement during a June 18 appearance on the Can’t Be Censored podcast, saying the GOP has “betrayed” Americans by prioritizing the interests of a foreign government over its own citizens. During the same podcast, Carlson expressed his opinion on how Vice President JD Vance should react to President Trump. “I would march into the Oval Office and say to Trump like ‘knock it off.’ ‘This is ridiculous. This is the opposite of what we ran on. What are you doing?'” Carlson said. “‘You either stop doing it or I’m going to give a press conference every single day from my house and explain to the world what you’re doing and why. And I’m going to attack you. I don’t want to, but I’m going to,'” Carlson continued. Carlson also insinuated that the actions taken by the administration aren’t just “off in the wrong direction” but “treasonous.” “They’re making decisions on the basis of other criteria. What’s best for this company? What’s best for Israel? What’s best for our donors? I mean, you know, that’s, I just want to say again, that’s unacceptable. That’s not just like they’re off in the wrong direction. Like that is unacceptable. That’s treasonous. It’s immoral. It can’t continue,” he said.

He said President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was funded largely by people with “loyalty to Israel,” and that is now forcing the president to make decisions that are not in the best interest of the USA. “What we know for certain is that the United States went to war with Iran — a war we are losing, that we’ve effectively lost already — because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu,” he said. Carlson said that’s enough to realize the U.S. government has “betrayed” the American public. Trump has scoffed at those kind of claims about the Iran war, saying in March that “If anything, I might’ve forced Israel’s hand.” And earlier this month, he said Israel has “no choice” but to accept whatever deal he cuts with Iran. “I call the shots. I call all the shots,” Trump told FT. “[Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.” Watch the full podcast episode below: The post Tucker Carlson Says He Is Done With Republican Party After 35 Years – “It’s Immoral” appeared first on 100PercentFedUp.com.
